At the Board of Trade rooms, yesterday after
noon, the committee of that organization and
one representing the citizens, including VIM.
Wallace, Judge Lamb, e. G. Atkins, George w.
Johnston. L. T. Kitchener. J. B. Conner, A. A.
McKain and w. P. Fishback, met to confer in
regard to procuring natural gas by trust COM
pany. John II. Holiday presided, and George
W. Johnston selected as secretary Judge
Martindale offered to sell to the committee his
two Greenfield wells for $lO 600.
d. p. Irwin thought that II the trustees should
advertise for wells and agree to pay price for
them according to their capacity, many more
would be put in, and in ninety DAYS all the wells
needed could be secured. Mr.. Atkins favored
the plan proposed and Mr.. Conner said that
many farmers were willing to pus in wells il
they were wanted
John Lovett of The Cooper syndicate. said
that it had ], GOO acres under lease the Mobiles
vile region. with option on ], 900 more. ALI this
land is in a gas belt that has never failed to give
a good well. The syndicate has one good we'll,
and is willing to make a contract to furnish ten
more with leases of its lands in a certain length
Of time. or it will supply thu, the gas to. to
own. He was questioned at length in
regard to the capacity of wells ADD mains and
their cost. but General Foster did not think it
worth while to consider the scheme any further
until an Endorsement of good legal authority is
obtained Mr. Fish back suggested a company
capitalized by popular subscriptions to stock.
Mr.. Conner presented memoranda as to what
the proposed subcommittee should consider.
Judge Lamb said there plenty OF law for
trust company but it would be difficult
to get the people to travel that way.
He thought that the first thing to do
was to decide whether the Indianapolis company
should have what it asks If not then it should
be stopped until others could decide as to what
is tho best plan to pursue. Colonel Lilly
said if cooperation is not feasible, the manu-.
facturers might organize to oppose any other
company. Mr. Potts favored the appointment
OF committee of lawyers to consider the legal
phase of the trust plan proposed, and another of
business men to report as to the organization
of the company. This had taken the
form of motion, and was finally adopted.
The committee of lawyers consists of William
Wallace. w. FL. Ii. Miller, Ferdinand Winter,
John NJ. Butler and w. F. Fishback. That OF
the business men is composed of e. G. Atkins,
John P. Frenzel, John w. Murphy. Eli Lilly
and George w. Johnston The general commit
chairman.

Query from manufacturers.

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journals
Please tell us as, manufacturers, how you ex-
pect boom for Indianapolis with natural gas
for making steam at seven cents per /, 600 feet,
the price established by the city ordinance. We
have two boilers. 40 inches by 20 feet. with seven
six-inch fues each. We use, per week, one car.
load of nut coal, next grade above slack, costing
$18 per car, which, added to cost of handling
makes a total of $24. Now, at the very best
calculation that can be made, at the ordinance
prices to furnish the same amount of steam with
natural gas, would cost US $37 In our estimate
we have taken into consideration the cleaning Of
flues and the hauling of cinders. We, like all
others, want gas but can not where any
manufacturer possibly it. If we can,
ct us know. TUCKER DORSEY MFG Co.

President Brush has received from President
Young, of the League, official pronunciation of
the contracts of the new players. in which Eos
ter, Buckley and Clark are assigned to Indianap-
oils, which seems to indicate that the claim of
Indianapolis on the Minneapolis fielder has been
officially recognized by the league. and he must
either play here or not at all. Mr.. Young has
received no official notification Of the reported
contract between Foster and New York.
Washington special says: 1.-THE release of
Paul Hines so long member OF the Washing
tons. has just been announced. He was reserved
for next year but he absolutely refused to play
ball another season member of the Wash
ington club. and said that if he was reserved he
would lay off for twelve months and not play at
all. He told President Hewitt that Washington
people kicked If be did not knock the ball over
the fence every time he went to bat and he was
tired of it The reason of his refusal to play
here was personal and not mercepary. Though
the Indianapolis club has not as yet signed
Hines. there is little doubt that he will play with
that club next year"

A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.

What the New Assistant Labor
Statistician Has to Say of His
Late Home. ~ b
''The price of farm lands in Faribault
county," said j. p. West, of Wells, the
newly-appointed assistant commissioner
of labor statistics, has advanced wOn7
derfully in the last year. The county is
fast settling up, and with superior
class of emigrantS, or rather settlers.
Just at present great many Germans
from Southern Illinois are moving up
duStriOuS, we'll fixed in financial way,
and, taken all in all, are the very best
class of settlers we get. Pm afraid the
Republican majority in Faribault
county will suffer if this influx contin-
ues much longer. You see these people
all come from the section of Illinois
known as Egypt, and they are Demo
Gratis to a man. Our party organization
was somewhat ratified last fall,
but even then we gave McGill
LOCO majority. 1t was peculiar con-
test down there last year. Men seemed
TO forget all about party, and to act as
though there had been no party organ
iZatiOn.
''Yes, the Milwaukee railroad re-
moved their shops from Wells this last
summer" he continued; ''but we don't
miss them. The town has secured other
interests to more than make up for,
those railroad shops. and then we have
gotten rid of the tOughS that used to in
fest the place. A new steam -four mill
has taken the place of the shops, and
brings in the trade of the country for.
miles around-even down into Iowa"
